ABOUT DEEP FLOWING.
The host Way of Fighting Long Drought
or u Long Wet Spell.


or u Long Wet Spell.
In farming. as we'll AS in dairying or
grazing, every thing depends on the
condition of the soil Here is the foun-
dation, and unless this is in proper con-
dition the substructurc is bound to fall.
A great deal has been said and written
rs to the proper depth to plow, and there
is such difference of opinion among
farmers in regard to it the question is
still rs far from being settled us ever.
We think, however, that the leading
cause for such difference of opinion may
be found in the land itself. That GOOD
crops are and can he grown on shallow
plowed land that is good, no one will
deny, provided the season be neither too
wet nor too dry. c.. with moderate
rains the whole season. In such Il
season any one can grow good crops.
But such seasons are. and, in
fact, every season is likely to be
attended with long drought or long
wet spell. Now what the farmer wants
is to guard against both. and the only
way to do it is to break up his land as
deeply us possible-say not less than
seven to ton inches. But how is this to-
mend the matter? We answer, very
easily. In case of Il heavy rain large
portion of the water. instead of running
off will be absorbed by the deeply dis
integrated land, where it is held as ii
by sponge for the use of the plants,
and if drought should intervene there
is supply of water just where the
plants want it, and when exhausted it's
place is at once supplied by capillary
attraction from below. It will thus be
seen that by deep plowing the farmer
provides against drought by having q
supply of water in reserve, or u place
ready to receive and hold it whsnever
it comes. The better to insure this,
however, us we'll rs to facilitate the
escape of too much water, it is better
to use u subsoil plow and an additional
team. running the same Immediately
after the breaking plow, and ripping
up the subsoil the desired depth. This
need not be done for every crop raised
on the land, but only once IN every
three or four years.
1t has been well said that it is better
to have two acres of good land. One ON
top OF the other, than us many acres
alongside of each other, rs 1t costs only
half as much to tend them. The way
to do this is BY dccp plowing, and thus
double the depth of the soil. as well rs
tho crops grown thereon. - JPesksrn

COUNTERFEIT MONEY.
why Gcnteel Crooks DO No Longer En-
gage In Its Manufacture.

why GcnteeI CrOORH OO Longer En-
gage In Its Manufacture.
An industry which was formerly of
great Importance, which has dwindled
into comparative insigniiicance, is the
manufacture of counterfeit money. 1t
had many able opponents, but like
many more exalted occupations, it has
suffered from the want of proper
system of apprenticeship. The great
masters of generation ago have dis
appeared, either through death or other
enforced retirement, and no one has
been trained to take their places. The
chief cause of this, in the opinion of
National Bank officer, who was dis
cussing the question recently, is the in
creased vigilance and activity of the
Government.
"The task of the Government, how
ever, has been very much easier" said
he, "by reason of the fact that since
the war there has been no State banks
to issue currency. Under the old sys-
tenn there were so many styles of bills
it was almost impossible to keep track
of them all, so rs to distinguish the
counterfeit from the genuine. The
difficulty was all the greater because
| the bank bills were of SO low grade
of workmanship that it was very easy
| to counterfeit them. Consequently
| countcrfciting was regular business.
During the war when the Government
had its hands full of other matters, the
business tlourished. For some time
after the war, also, counterfeiting was
very common"
What else has hurt the business?"
"Well the processes of manufactur-
ing both specie and bills are constantly
becoming more delicate and costly. To
turn out an absolutely perfect bill or
coin now requires very expensive and
bulky machinery. No counterfeter
has the money to buy such machinery,
and no place to put it up in if he had
it. Consequently his goods are inferior
and easily detected. In former times
u skilful workman could turn out
queer money just rs good looking as
the genuine. Processes of manufacture
were simple. Then it was impossible
to crush the business even with lib
eral use of death penaley. Now ;
counterfeit note or coin is seldom seer
in bank. Gentcel crooks have turned
from counterfeiting to the 'sawdust
game. 1t is safer and more profita

THE FAMILY DOCTOR.
Health Hints Suggested by Some OF the
Worlds Foremost PhyslcianS.

Health Hints SugGsxtsd by Some OF the
Worlds Foremost Physcans.
No person should bathc when the body
is fatigued by either mental or physical
labor, or Immediately after Il meal.
Friction with pine oil is favoritc
cure for rheumatic affections in Ger
many, and also for bronchial and throat
complaints. The aromatic. astringent
fragrance of the oil, whichis made from
resinous portions of the fir tree, has {;
salutary effect in pulmonary cases.
Ii the feet are tender or painful after
long walking or standing, great relief
can be had by bathing them in salt and
water. A handful of salt to gallon of
water is the right proportion. Have
the water rs hot rs can comfortably be
bt rne. Immerse the feet and throw the
w,.ter over the legs as far as the knees
with the hands. When the water be-
comes too cool rub hriskly with fresh
towel. This method. if used night and
morning, wall cure neuralgia of The feet.
A recen. meeting of the Societie dc
Biologie, DR.. Laborderie read paper
on skin grating from the frog to man.
The experiment was tried in the case of
a man whose feet had been burned by
molten leao. On one of the wounds
were put four gratis of human skin, and
on the other four gratis from the skin
of frog. All of these, it is reported,
took firm koid on the wounds. The
frog-skin gratis retained their peculiar
color few days, afterward changing
to the color of :he human skin. The
wounds heal I'd rapidly.
According to Dr. Leuf, when water
is taken into the full or partly full
stomach, it does not mingle with the
food, rs we are generally taught, but
passes along quickly between the food
and the lesser curvature, toward tho
pylorus, through which it passes into the
| intestine. The secretion of mucus by
| the lining membrane Is constant, and
during the night u considerable amount
accumulatcs In tho stomach; some Of
its liquid portion Is absorbed, and that
| which remains Is thick and tenacious.
| II food Is taken into the stomach when
in this condition 1t becomes coated with
this mucus, and the secretion of tho
gastric juice and its action are delayed.
These facts show the value of goblet
Of water before breakfast. This washes
out tho tenacious mucus and stimulates
the gastric glands to secreti0n. In old
or feeble persons water should not be
taken cold. but it may be- with great
advantage taken warm. This removal
OF the accumulated mucus from tho
stomach is probably one Of tho reasons
why taking soup at tho beginning of u
meal has always been found SO bene.
